Homework will be assigned for every class. I believe the key to success in mathematics is practice! •You must attempt every problem set and show all of your work. Expect to struggle with some problems. If you don’t know how to start a problem, write down all of the important information. Draw pictures and copy diagrams. There must be evidence of your attempts at a solution in writing. •Your homework will be checked for completion each class. It needs to be clearly are asked to write down your working for a particular problem from a particular day, you will be able to do so. Not having your homework done for class will result in 5% off of the Responsibility portion of your grade. •When you complete your homework, go back and check problems with answers and correct as necessary in a different color. Try to rework problems with mistakes; bring questions to class. All homework answers will be available throughout the unit. •If you are having trouble with homework, seek help- read your notes & textbook, see or email me, meet with a friend, etc. •I don’t assign many repetitive problems. You should plan to work through additional exercises from the text whenever you need a review of basic concepts. •Realistically, there may be occasions when you cannot complete your homework. You should always be able to at least write down something for each problem before class, though; be sure to catch up as soon as possible. Notify me via email before class if you have a valid excuse. Please never copy someone else’s homework- take responsibility for your education and act with integrity. •At the end of each unit, homework will be collected and graded for correctness. All errors must be clearly marked and corrected in a different color. Since answers and help are available all unit, with a little effort, all homework should be 100%.
Homework that is carefully and conscientiously done will pay off in the long run; math is not a spectator sport!
Collaboration: Unless told otherwise, you may work with other students on homework assignments. You must indicate with whom you worked in the margin of your paper (there will be no penalty for this). However, merely copying another student’s work is cheating (see Academic Honesty). Rule of Thumb: If you are collaborating with someone then you both begin with blank sheets and work together to solve the problems.
If the other person has already done the problem, then you may get help from them, but may not copy their work. To be sure you aren't copying, don't write anything down while you are getting help. Go away and try the problem again. If the help actually helped then you'll be able to do it now on your own.
